What is Creosote?
Creosote is a highly flammable tar-like substance that forms when wood burns incompletely. It accumulates on chimney walls and is the #1 cause of chimney fires in the United States. The NFPA recommends annual inspections and cleaning to prevent dangerous buildup.
Creosote ignites at just 451°F (233°C)
Chimney flue temperatures can easily exceed this during normal use. Even 1/8" of buildup is considered a fire hazard.
Three Levels of Creosote
Level 1 (Soot)
Light, powdery buildup easily removed with standard brushing
Danger: Low
Level 2 (Flaky)
Shiny, tar-like flakes that require more aggressive removal
Danger: Medium
Level 3 (Glazed)
Hardened, glossy coating extremely difficult to remove. Highly flammable.
Danger: HIGH - Fire Hazard
